We're covering it all and comparing the new rules to old-school chaos, with a side of troubleshooting. Come for the insights, stay for the hilarity of three podcasters battling not only Pathfinder but also their own audio setup. Summary Buckle up for an epic romp through the second part of the intricacies of Pathfinder 2's War of Immortals in this hilariously insightful episode, where the RPGBOT team dives headfirst into everything from character archetypes to game-breaking mythic feats—and tackles some epic tech issues along the way! With lively banter, the hosts dissect the archetypes of Avenger, Bloodrager, Cineshal, Vindicator, and the dangerously unpredictable Warrior of Legend. As they unpack each archetype, expect serious laughs as they navigate the high-stakes, high-reward gameplay styles, especially around the Warrior of Legend —the archetype that's equally likely to save or doom the party with its over-the-top abilities. The show takes a mythic turn as the team delves into Mythic Rules , exploring how these rules transform characters into veritable legends with god-like abilities and even deadlier mythic monsters. Their discussion on the Mythic Points system will have you debating your own campaigns, as they compare it to older systems and debate if it balances or completely shatters gameplay. Along the way, they share side-splitting insights on mythic destinies and mythic feats, pondering which epic paths might be too powerful for their own good. Expect a deep-dive into variant rules for mythic characters, as the hosts brainstorm extra options for GMs and players to keep campaigns fresh, all while troubleshooting technical difficulties that threaten to become mythic themselves!
